What does Viagra do?

When a man considers using Viagra to get rid of erectile dysfunction, there are always two questions that he asks himself prior to making the final decision: ‘Does Viagra work and, if it does, how does it work?’ Yeah, we are skeptics and at the same time we want to know mechanisms behind virtually everything that we run into in our daily lives. Well, time for some science then! In today’s article we will dwell upon Viagra’s mechanism of action. Time to learn what exactly this magic blue pill does to turn you into the stallion you have always wanted to be!

So, what does Viagra do?

On your perceptive level

It gives you boners, of course! :) Just as simple as that but not much more than that. It won’t actually make you feel excited or get you in the mood for sex. Nevertheless, which is probably more important, it will prepare you for bedroom feats from the physical point of view. There’s a chance you won’t get hard at the mere view of your partner’s sexy stance like you did when you were younger but… A little fluffing up should do the job perfectly – after just a little foreplay you will be stiff and ready to go!

Since Viagra improves blood circulation in your pelvis, you are likely to experience a pleasant warm sensation down there when you get down to business. That’s not weird at all – most men actually say it even gets them more excited.

Usually, a pill of Viagra is perfectly enough to make a normal sexual intercourse possible. Even more than just that, perhaps – most of those popping Viagra certify that they last much longer than usual and experience more pleasure when reaching orgasm as opposed to pill-free sex. Well, even though these effects are not stated on the official package insert, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t believe such feedback.

From scientific point of view

And now the science behind it all… There’s a very useful substance called cGMP contained in your body. When there is enough of it, your sexual health is okay – you have your libido and you can achieve perfect erections without any help whatsoever. However, in people with erectile dysfunction cGMP is not present is sufficient amounts – all due to a not-so-useful substance called PDE5. Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate) is a PDE5 inhibitor. That means it stops PDE5 from lowering the levels of cGMP in your body, you get lots of blood flowing freely in your pelvis and entering your penis… You are healthy enough to enjoy perfect rock-hard erections!

The amount of Sildenafil in your system starts growing lower 4-6 hours following the intake of Viagra. While it’s still peaking, you can have sex like a real stallion. Even though 1 tablet of Viagra is supposed to be enough for 1 sexual intercourse, many patients (and their partners) claim that with the pill they are capable of making love several times a night. Another very pleasant bonus for all of you out there, right?

So, that’s more or less it. Hope we managed to answer your ‘what does Viagra do’ question without getting too boring in our quasi-scientific explanations. Does Viagra work for you? It works for 75-80% of all men with ED, so it’s time to figure your particular case out too!
